"Being shortlisted for the Peter Usborne Primary Library of the Year Award is both a privilege and a celebration of what can be achieved when a whole community works together to inspire children to read.

"This recognition acknowledges the commitment of our staff, pupils, families, volunteers and school community, whose support has helped create a library where every child can discover the pleasure and power of books."

We are so pleased to introduce the first of four primary schools shortlisted for the Peter Usborne Primary Library of the Year Award – Halberton Primary & Pre School in Devon.

The judges praised Halberton on the school's sustainable values, and the community collaboration that helped turn a small space into a library which is well-loved and welcoming to every pupil that enters it.

Congratulations, Halberton Primary School! 🌟

We are delighted to share that our school library has been shortlisted for the School Library Association (UK) Primary School Library of the Year Award. We are so proud of this special part of our school, created with and inspired by Liznojan, and how it helps our children to foster a love of reading.

“School libraries have the potential to meet the needs of every child in every school, across all areas of learning. These awards celebrate the librarians and library teams who turn that potential into reality.” – Victoria Dilly, chief executive of the School Library Association.

We are thrilled to announce the shortlists for the Secondary School Librarian of the Year Award, sponsored by Bloomsbury Publishing UK, and the Peter Usborne Primary School Library of the Year Award (Usborne Publishing).

As we approach the 90th anniversary of the School Library Association, it is more important than ever to highlight excellence in the profession and share real-life examples of the power of school libraries.

The work of this year’s shortlisted librarians goes far beyond encouraging reading for pleasure, though they each do this in a variety of ways – including hosting events, staging literacy interventions, building pupil-led reading schemes and improving access and inclusivity. An overarching theme was the wish to make the school library a place of sanctuary and belonging.

We are so excited to introduce these dedicated and inspirational librarians over the coming days – keep an eye on our channels to follow the story.

Conker and Elder became Anglo-Saxons for the day today- we carved, shaped, cooked, gathered and hunted! The Wildwood staff were very impressed with our knowledge! 🌳 🔥 🪵

We are super proud of this young man who entered his first triathlon this weekend and not only completed it but came first, coming ahead of some older children and adults who raced the same distance. Well done!

Today we say farewell to this bunch of awesome Y6s. They have been such a wonderful year group and we wish them the best of luck for the future! 🌟

Our Y6s took part in their final out-of-school adventure as they did the Tiverton High School Maggie Fasey Challenge today. Their walk took them all around Tiverton and they even coincidently met the late Maggie Fasey’s husband, who shared some special memories of Maggie as he sat on her commemorative bench. 🚶 🚶‍♀️
